tions!
All threaded connections between TorkDrive and Top Drive Main shaft must
be regularly inspected according to API RP7G.
WARNING Failure to comply may result in death, bodily harm or equipment malfunc-
tions!
The appropriate setup for fixing the TorkDrive Compact Tool and service loop in the derrick de-
pends on local conditions.
The selected position for the service loop within the derrick must take into consideration that the
operation is not hindered in any way by other parts of the derrick. The service loop is suspended in
the derrick by rope tie offs, bolted clamps or they will hang on sliding saddles. This arrangement is
rig specific and has to be prepared by the costumer. Assistance in constructing appropriate mount-
ing adapters for the respective derrick is available on request.
To prevent hydraulic power losses the power unit should be located in close proximity to the Tork-
Drive Compact Tool. Use only the hydraulic hoses delivered with the system to prevent pressure
loss.
Prior to installation on the rig site make sure that the TorkDrive Compact Tool is correctly config-
ured and set up with the correct size of gripping elements (see previous Sections 2.3.1) and that

Make sure that the service loop container is already placed on the rig floor as described in the pre-
vious installation checklist (refer to Section 2.6, step 1 - 6). This section describes the transporta-
tion and installation of the TorkDrive module. Proceed as follows:
Set up the control panel about 3 m/10 feet from well center on driller side.
Note: The position for the control panel must be easily accessible and the operator must
have a clear view of the personnel and the moving system components (refer to Fig. 1.1).
Connect the control panel with the hydraulic power unit or rig site hydraulics.
Lift up the service loop hanger with a tugger winch until the service loop is completely un-
wound from container reel.
Lift the TorkDrive Compact Tool onto the rig floor by using the provided lifting points (refer to
Section 2.2.2.1)
Use one crane to carry the tool in horizontal position (refer to Section 2.2.2.1) to the rig floor.
Connect the two upper lifting points of the tool with the top drive.
Place a lifting sling around the designated lifting point on the FillUp Tool to prevent the tool
from swinging during lifting.
Lift up the tool with a winch or the top drive until the tool hangs vertically.
Align the center axis of the tool to the center axis of the top drive and place the tool in the ro-
tary.
Warning: Ensure that the tool is located on a flat level surface to prevent tilting.
Make up the connection of the tool to the top drive with 60,000 ft-lb. Lift up the top drive with
the attached tool.
Place the control panel and install the service loop (refer to Section 2.5.2.2).
The service loop must be routed in a secure way. I.e. they must not be bent
or clamped or in any other way hindering the circulation within the system.
WARNING On the other hand, the hoses must not obstruct the personnel working on
the rig floor. The service loop connected to the TorkDrive Compact Internal
TS DNV must be able to follow the movement freely.

TorkDrive Compact Internal TS DNV
3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 TORKDRIVE COMPACT INTERNAL TS DNV
WEATHERFORD’S TorkDrive Compact Internal TS DNV fits under all regular top drive models by
means of a 6 5/8-inch API reg connection. In case of other connections use a crossover.
This tool with pipe grip on the inner pipe surface allows to grip and run casing sizes between 9 5/8
to 14-inch. The maximum transmission torque is 81 350 Nm/60 000 ft-lb (depending on the pipe di-
ameter), making use of the rotational power of the top drive. Additionally, the tool allows circulation
and fill-up while running the casing. The gripping mechanism of the tool is remotely controlled from
the rig floor by its own control system. In order to measure the applied torque during a connection
make-up and to measure the weight of the pipe string after make-up, the TorkDrive Compact Tool
contains the TorkSub torque measuring system.
Using a single joint elevator, a casing joint is picked up from the v-door and lifted into position over
the rotary table. The top drive is then lowered so that the TorkDrive Compact Tool engages the
casing. The casing string is spun in and made up by using a flush-mounted spider to hold the cas-
ing and take up the counter torque. The made up string is picked up with the tool, to be lowered
ready for the next joint. Continuous circulation is possible while engaged.
The tool can also be used to breakout casing joints and lay the joints down. The abovementioned
casing sizes can be handled with a rated load of up to 454 t/500 short tons.
The TorkDrive Compact Internal TS DNV is prepared for use with a (Remote
controlled) Single Joint Elevator. For more information contact WEATHER-

The Clamping Cylinders move the Actuator Pipe down when extending. The Actuator Pipe in turn
moves the Slips down and hence outwards guided by the mandrel into clamping position (see Fig.
3.8).
A fill-up & circulation tool is available for the internal clamping tool to cover the range of casing di-
ameter from 9 5/8 to 14-inch. This tool should be dressed with the correct size of packer cups and
centralizers in the workshop.

On top of the unit is a turns counter, which counts the turns of the top drive. The top drive is pow-
ered with 1 455 pulses per revolution (fixed value for all sizes). The turns counter provides the
turns signal for WEATHERFORD's torque measurement system.
3.3.3 TorkSub
The TorkSub system is used for JAMPro/JAMCompact operation and includes the following com-
ponents:
The TorkSub system uses strain gauges for torque and weight. 500 tourque measurements per
second with a resolution of about 4 Nm/3 ft-lb up to 81 350 Nm/60 000 ft-lb are provided in make-
up and break out direction. The weight measurement delivers 10 samples per second with a usa-
ble resolution of about 23 kg/50 lb.
The intrinsically safe electronic circuits (Ex-i) are potted underneath the cover plate. They send out
the measurement data in a digital data stream on selectable legacy free frequencies to match re-
gional regulatory requirements. The frequency selection can be done via TorkPro ( in TSI2-mode)
or the optional available TS-TCT handheld tool.
The calibrated range of the system is 81 350 Nm/60 000 ft-lb. If the analogue 4 to 20 mA torque
measurement is chosen on the JAMPro/JAMCompact measurement system, this range has to be
set.
The TorkSub inductor delivers power for the electronic boards. It is located on top of the bail
housing and contains the primary side of a molded transformer coil. The secondary transformer
coil and communication antennas are inside the black molded groove of the TS mandrel. The TS
inductor is mounted in an antistatic housing, which also fixes two antennas for the RF communica-
tion.
The TorkSub supply unit converts the mains voltage of 100 to 240 V AC into 24V safety extra low
voltage. The housing must be connected to the rig grounding via the provided earth cable.
For compatibility reasons the torque and turns signals are routed through this box and are accessi-
ble on single sockets using JAMPro/JAMCompact’s standard load cell and turns counter cables.
Use the provided TorkSub CT to TSI junction box to connect the communication cable (IS-link ca-
ble) to the CT-cable of the JAMPro/JAMCompact unit.
The hydraulic service loop also harbors the 3 electrical cables, which connect the TorkSub inter-
face with the TorkSub supply unit: the 24V supply cable, the IS-Link cable, that includes the ana-
logue and digital communication signals, and the grounding wire, that must be properly screwed on
TS interface and TS supply.
All system components are designed Ex-proof. Any changes or repairs must be carried out by per-
sonnel sufficiently educated in handling Ex-proof equipment and specially trained at the TorkSub.
Furthermore, always comply with EN 60079.
The Mandrel for the TorkDrive Compact Tool is rated for -40 to +90°C and the associated enclo-
sures are rated for -40 to +60°C. The system components are ATEX approved for zone 1 usage in
hazardous areas with gas explosion risk.
The power regulator is supplied via AC current using a transformer, where the primary coil is the
Inductor and the secondary coil is at the shaft. The intrinsically safe induced current is stabilized by
the power regulator to provide separate output voltage levels to energize the amplifier and micro-
processor circuitry and also the sensors and strain gauge bridges.
The two-channel strain gauge amplifier carries out a 16 bit analogue to digital conversion for the
torque and a 10 bit analogue to digital conversion for the weight. These signals are processed by
the microprocessor to form a serial data stream.
3.3.3.3 Inductor
The Inductor is located at the swivel. It contains the coil that acts as the primary coil of the supply
transformer for the shaft, and two antennas as described above. The device is made of antistatic
plastic material and the coil is molded, while the antennas are mounted at the outside in a ma-
chined channel.
These 3 components of the Inductor are connected to the TorkSub by 3 separate connectors.
3.3.3.4 TorkSub
The TorkSub is located on the mandrel.
The TorkSub is made up of 2 molded modules contained in a flameproof housing and an approved
junction box. The heart of the TS Interface is a microcontroller. The 2 antennas within the Inductor,
for receiving and sending data from and to the measuring shaft, are connected to the terminal box
via N-Series connectors and lead into the casing, using a special molded flameproof cable gland.
All other connections are established with cables.
The TorkSub supplies the coil of the Inductor. Two intrinsically safe Namur signals e.g. from a turns
counter are looped through the terminal box and exit to the TorkSub Supply. Two additional Namur
signals are created by the microcontroller and exit to the TorkSub Supply as well. Two intrinsically
safe 4 to 20 mA signals (torque and weight) are created within TS Interface via the microcontroller
and the data from the mandrel. These signals, as well as the intrinsically safe CAN signal created
TorkDrive Compact Internal TS DNV
by the microcontroller, exit to the TorkSub Supply. All intrinsically safe signals to the TorkSub Sup-
ply are fed into one cable. The TorkSub is supplied with 24 V DC by the TorkSub Supply with
SELV protection. The TorkSub is connected to earth via the TorkSub Supply by a separate Tork-
Sub grounding cable of 4 mm² cross section.
All cables are equipped with plugs. The connector plugs protrude through the housing of the termi-
nal box, so that the cables can be connected without the need to open the TorkSub terminal box.
They are wired with Ex-e approved terminals within the terminal box.
The TorkSub supports the TorkPro software running on the JAMPro/JAMCompact system. All data
communication runs digitally via the CAN bus, improving the overall performance and ease of op-
eration.
All cables are equipped with plugs except the mains cable. The connector plugs protrude through
the housing of the terminal box, so that the cables can be connected without the need to open the
TorkSub Interface terminal box. They are wired with Ex-e approved terminals within the terminal
box. The terminal box must only be opened to insert or replace the mains cable which goes
The driller’s remote panel indicates the state of the TorkDrive to the driller, who is responsible for

TorkDrive Compact Internal TS DNV
Before using the TorkDrive Compact Tool with its TorkSub functionality, it is necessary to verify the
torque provided by the Top Drive. Therefore three torque values are compared to each other using
two Weatherford JAMPro/JAMCompact systems.
The torque of the Top Drive is compared to the torque signals provided by the TorkSub and a load
cell connected between a tong unit and the rig tie-off. The following diagram shows the necessary
configuration for the TorkSub Torque Verification.
It is also possible to run the verification on one JAMPro/JAMCompact unit, by using the TorkPro
software. The load cell has to be connected to the Remote Drillers Display, which is connected to
the second channel of the JAMPro/JAMCompact. Refer to the TorkPro manual for details. To verify
the torque, proceed as follows:
Clamp the pipe with the TorkDrive Compact Tool suspended by the Top Drive
Clamp a power, rig or belt tong on the pipe. Connect a load cell between the tong and the
snub line
Verify the correct size of the load cell and the snub line
Ensure that the rotary is unlocked so that the pipe may rotate without interference of the
rotary
TorkDrive Compact Internal TS DNV
Route the signal provided by the TorkSub Interface into Channel 1 of the first
JAMPro/JAMCompact system
Route the signal provided by the load cell into Channel 1 of the second
JAMPro/JAMCompact system
Apply the optimum torque needed for makeup of the current pipe size to the pipe using
the Top Drive. Note the measured values of the load cell and the TorkSub. Repeat this
step 3 times
Compare the torque values provided by the TorkSub and the load cell to the applied
torque
If the JAMPro/JAMCompact systems (TorkSub and Load Cell value) show the same
value but differ from the applied torque of the Top Drive, the Top Drive settings need to
be reviewed.
If the Top Drive and the TorkSub values are identical but differ from the load cell value,
check the settings (tong arm length and span) in the JAMPro/JAMCompact system and
repeat the process. If the values still differ, replace the load cell. When the values are
still not correct the JAMPro/JAMCompact system connected to the load cell needs to be
replaced.
If the Top Drive and the Load Cell values are identical but differ from the TorkSub, check and ad-
just the TorkSub using the Weatherford TorkSub Test & Calibration Tool and the TorkSub Tork-
Shaft Simulator. Therefore refer to separate Operating Manuals of these devices.
Power can be applied to the system, if the system is properly set up and all cable connections have
been made according to Section 2.5.2.3 “Installation of the TorkSub”.
For the setup of the JAMPro/JAMCompact system refer to the JAMPro/JAMCompact operating
manuals and the TorkPro manual.
After switching on, within 2 seconds, the measuring shaft will begin to continuously send data to
the TorkSub Interface.
The torque output is calibrated to sink 20 mA at 44 253 Nm/60 000 ft-lb and 4 mA at 0 Nm/0 ft-lbf.
At the JAMPro/JAMCompact system the setup must be made for a load cell corresponding to this
torque value and 0.3 m/1 ft tong arm length.
The weight output is calibrated to sink 20 mA at the rated load of the TorkDrive model and 4 mA at
0 Nm/0 ft-lb.
